Roasted root veggies

Doesn't sound very fancy or delicious, but dice them small and they are good enough to be a colorful side dish for Christmas dinner! (which is what I made them for)

3 Parsnips, diced small
1 rutabega, diced small
2 sweet potatoes, diced small
4 carrots, diced small
   (you could add any other root vegetable, diced small.  can't wait to try celery root!)
  
Mix, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Arrange in a flat layer on a shallow roasting pan and put in a 375 degree oven for around 30 minutes, until tender and starting to brown a little.

A little note about the shallow roasting pan.  If you don't have one, get one!  I use mine several times a week - throw basically any type of vegetable on there with a little olive oil and S&P, heat the oven to about 400 and in anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes (depending on what vegetable and what size chunks you use) you have an easy and DELICIOUS veggie side dish.  I got mine for $10 from a restaurant supply store.  The ones at regular retail stores warp and get this sticky yellowish gunk on them that is impossible to get off.  Get you a good one and it might become your most used pan too :)
